As I said in the video, i think Tai Tzu Ying is the perfect example how powerful and dangerous a dropshot can be. When she plays from the rearcourt it is almost impossible to read her movements and so many times she scores direct winning shots with dropshots that land right behind the net.
Here you find some example on how she scores with that kind of shot: • 6 Types of DECEPTIONS ...
Important: These high dropshots that come down close behind the net can be extremly powerful but they are also dangerous because of two reasons.
1: If you want to play really close to the net it can easily happen that you make a mistake so the flat dropshot that flies further into the court is a safer option
2: If your opponent realizes early, that you play a dropshot he will probably be very high at the net and also close at the net. That gives him a lot of options and will bring you in trouble. Again a fast dropshot that flies flat and further into the court is the safer option, especially when you are under pressure and when you have a hard time to disguise your shot.
